So you want to give surfing a go but you aren’t confident enough to hit the beaches, you can’t afford lessons and to be honest you’re not that great a swimmer? Step up to the FlowRider®! This wonderful piece of technology is an indoor surf simulator “For when the beach is out of reach”.

This experience offers you a combination of surfing, skateboarding and wakeboarding all in one spot. You’ll receive expert guidance and get to grips with what it feels like to really be out on the waves. You don’t need any experience, just a sense of fun and determination - you can perfect those moves. This is a great way to learn how to surf in a safe and controlled environment perfect for all ages and abilities.

Been there, done that...

What happens on the day?

You will be greeted at reception and will need to complete your acceptance of risk form before attending a classroom briefing. This will be given by an experienced instructor who will then hand you your wet suit.

You will make your way over to the FlowRider® where you are able to spend the next 60 minutes taking turns to practice indoor surfing and body boarding. Be aware that you may fall off the board and into the water a number of times as you get used to the skills required. Remember, it’s all part of the fun.

Sessions are 1 hour long (based on 7 people or above). On public sessions you will be joining a class up to 12 people where you take it in turns to ride.
